Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 215/6.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great! Thank you QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 214 continued to be tough getting back on track. I made it through the weekend without significate damage and did managed to weigh in lower than my start of the round even though I don't think I hit one of my goals. The goals weren't tough, I just didn't focus so same goals in this round and adding one to start some weight training.

2/21 220.0 (+0.6/+0.6) Hoping the remaining trend is downward....Yesterday was my 6 hours marathon meeting day (only once a month). I don't consume my water on these days as I'd like to, as I'd be in the bathroom every hour. Lunch is also brought in (I had a Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli Bowl from Panera @600 calories. Sunday I made a turkey veggie lasagna and had left overs for dinner. Pasta usually bumps me up and my future goal is to limit pasta to once a month. Alcohol Goal Met ✔
2/22 219.8 (-0.2/+0.4) Meh
2/23 219.8 (-0.0/+0.4)
2/24 219.2 (-0.6/-0.2) Was very frustrated yesterday so I didn't post as it would have been a crazy rant. Today, I'm only simi frustrated but also confused. I know that weight loss is not linear, and it's times like this when I think I should try the once a week weigh in.....yesterday I had an unplanned bagel, chicken breast for lunch and then a filet with salad and au gratin potatoes. I was over on calories, but not as much as I thought. The scale went down.... My frustration yesterday, sent me on a quest to find something different to follow. CICO is ok but I'm just counting calories and not looking at my choices for nutrition. A little planning this weekend and next week will be fruitful (pun intended)
2/25 220.3 (+1.1/+0.9)
2/26 219.6 (-0.7/+0.2) Starting a new plan today. Fingers crossed that I stay the course.

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.

2/21 – 208.0 – Lost some of the sodium water weight. I’ll tell you – sodium sneaks in sometimes. If I don’t look at the labels carefully, I could get a full day’s worth in one item.
2/22 – 207.2 – I was so lethargic yesterday that I declared it a rest day. I think it’s part of my newly diagnosed hypothyroid condition. My body is letting me know it’s time to adjust meds. This process is normal until I get to the optimum level of medication to normalize my system (which could take months). Follow up blood tests in 2 weeks and med adjustment then. I just have to be gentle on myself until then.
2/23 – 206.7 – This is such a strange week. I’m in a very low energy cycle of my thyroid meds, so I haven’t been exercising. I have been tracking calories though and trying to be compassionate with myself. The scale has been trending down, but I wish I felt better. Soon – the cycle will swing back eventually.
2/24 – 206.5 – Still tired, but still plugging along. Tracking calories because that doesn’t require much physical energy. I may try to get on the elliptical today and a very mellow pace and no resistance just so I can move. I’d take a walk, but there is 8” of snow outside.

2/21 190.5 Good start to this round. Going out for Fat Tuesday, so hopefully tomorrow's weigh in will be ok....
2/22 190.3 Drank some wine last night, so I am happy to see a little loss.
2/23 190.5 I think my Fat Tuesday shenenigans caught up with me! I am disappointed because I thought I would drop into the 80's today. I have a party to go to tonight.....
2/24 189.8 Yay! I have to keep focused over the weekend so that I stay in the 80's and keep going down....
2/25 189.4 Happy for a loss...
2/26 188.5 I had a good day yesterday. Did not have any weekend social activities, so that helped my weekend weight loss.

COMPUTER ACTED UP - THREE TIMES RECREATING POST FROM DAY 1 - HOPE THIS WORKS
GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 215
Round 215
February 21 – March 2, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 215. Continue with good tracking, and exercise. Add more higher BPM days into my cardio. Organize the supplements I’ve been meaning to take and actually begin taking them daily instead of thinking about it. Was hoping for 5 lb loss for the month on February. I don’t think I will make that, based on rounds 213 and 214. BUT, getting under 140 and finishing the round under 140 is very doable. Simple goals. Trying to not bite off two much, too fast.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/21- 139.4 Ok, so that was a pleasant surprise. I apparently got the “under 140” goal right away. (not that I had far to go) Yesterday, I did one lap alone, then two slower with the girls. Later rode 6.5 miles on the bike with hubby, and stopped for a margarita along the way. Even later, went in the pool. Kept focused on my tracking. That margarita cost me a ton of calories, it appears. Today, will be a different challenge. Key West with DS and girlfriend. Calories will be a challenge and will also be first social day out while juggling Invisalign. I will say, if you want to stop snacking and your teeth are crooked, get Invisalign. :P Last night, I was super super hungry. I have a whole tray of Chocolate Butter Mochi. But ate none as I did not want to have to bother with taking out my trays, having the snack, and water picking, brushing, flossing and recleaning the trays. All with a timer running.
2/22 – 139.8 Yesterday was a tricky day. We were doing key west with DS and girlfriend. Original plan included a relatively early dinner in key west, then a drive home (hour to hour and a half). Well, we got there late morning, did the butterfly conservatory, THEN went to find lunch. Anyhow, lunch was around 2 pm. When early dinner time rolled around, everyone was still full. So, change of plans. We drove home first, had an hour+ break (walked and fed the cats), then 8:15 reservation for dinner. I did somewhat overeat at dinner (small cocktail, one slice bread and butter, caesar salad, and a pair of crab cakes from the appetizers as my entrée). Happy with choices. Did my best. Tonight is out to eat again. More challenges!!
2/23 – 139.2 Made it through another challenging food day. Was even a little higher on calories, but managed a scale drop. Looking at my HR from my past two day’s walks, I definitely want to mix in some higher cardio days.
2/24 – 140.0 !!!!!! No explanation for that! Maybe just a delayed by-product of two dinners out, and last night’s entertaining supper. This morning, I got out early and starting out at a running pace, at 1.3 miles I dropped to fast walk. Finished two laps (3.2 miles total) before joining the girls for two more at a slower pace. Apparently, my usual watchband does not hold me apple watch tight enough while jogging to get me a BPM. It’s like I was dead for those 1.3 miles.
2/25 – 138.4 That makes sense with my efforts lately, and am grateful for it. This morning I was contemplating trying to enter a 5k, but between my lack of vehicle to get to it (hubby has car on mainland, so would have to bike or walk) and yesterday I pushed my cardio and my legs are hurting this morning, I am going to just do a nice light walking day to keep my legs stretched out.
2/26 – 138.6 yesterday’s number was too good.
2/27 – 138.8 Other than no exercise, yesterday was spot on. Had a rough start to the day this morning. Overslept, rushed to get dressed, feed the cats, and realized my apple watch needed charging. I dropped it in the charger to get myself 5 minutes of charge to help its status. It was then that I noticed the first digit in the time, was a 5 and not a 6. I did think it was mighty dark outside. Going to be a long day.
Update: So I took advantage of my failure and headed out at 6:15. I managed to do two laps at my fast alone pace, then had to run and walk to catch up with the group as they were about 4 minutes ahead of me. I then stayed though all walkers. I did 6 laps (10 miles) Maybe it will pay off in the morning.

HSW: 211.6 lbs (Aug 2021)
SW: 191.1 lbs (Oct 2022)
Round 208 EW: 175.5 lbs (-0.5)
Round 210 EW: 173.7 lbs (-1.8)
Round 211 EW: 173.2 lbs (-0.5)
Round 212 EW: 172.0 lbs (-1.2)
Round 213 EW: 167.6 lbs (-4.4)
Round 214 EW: 167.1 lbs (-0.5)
My goals for this round will be the same as the last round: to not eat my children's leftovers and to eat smaller portions for dinner. I am also very sedentary so I will aim to get my heart rate above 100 bps for at least 22 minutes each day.
Round 215 SW: 167.1 lbs
2/21: 166.2 lbs
My elliptical broke so I am going to struggle to reach my 22 minutes of a heart rate above 100 bps. I need to think of an alternative way to achieve that goal.
2/22: 166.4 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I really focused on walking fast yesterday and that was enough to get my heart rate up.
2/23: 166.7 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/24: 166.7 lbs
Ate within calorie limit and exercised but didn't reach 22 minutes of heart rate above 100. Going to pull apart my elliptical later and see if I can figure out how to fix it.
2/25: 166.7 lbs
It turns out my elliptical had a loose bolt that was causing the problem. It was an easy fix but I did have to take the whole thing apart before I realised what was wrong. I have been measuring my waist each week and in 3 weeks I've lost about 1 inch. It really does pay to take measurements so when you stall you can see that you still might be losing inches.
2/26: 166.9 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. Not sure why the scale is going up but I think it is just water retention from my hormonal cycle.
2/27: 167.1 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I would be lying if I said I was comfortable with my recent weight gain. But I guess it is what I do in the face of an apparent gain that will determine if I eventually reach my goals.

2/27 218.5 (-1.5) Today is beginning of 28 day protien challenge which for me is 52 per meal which is making me anxious. This is not going to be easy but I have 28 days to get it right. I am starting with increasing dinner and tonight it is pressure cooker ham and beans. My recipe makes 8 servings at 13g protein each. Even at 2 servings I don't reach 52 lol. I am doing something wrong. Meh...day 1. 27 to go lol. 2 rebounder sessions done as well as pacing while helping momma with her first ever cell phone. What made my sister think momma could figure out an iPhone at 80?!? Did another rebounder as fitbit decided I didn't do two. Spent most the afternoon raking and blowing leaves to reach my step goal. I did over 9000. I will be sore tomorrow.6 -

I agree, it's so hard to get enough protein while staying within calories. Today I've had eggs, protein pancake, protein shake, packet of ham, mini cheeses, milk and a protein bar and I'm still only on 96 grams for the day. I'd love to know how others manage to get high protein levels4 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
